Free!

I am free from exams. 1 month and 5 days later.

Free love on the free love highway

Free love on the free love highway

The picture isn’t excactly what I am going to do with my freedom now, but it was the first image on the “free” google images search that wasn’t pornography….

I’m pretty sure my last blog entry was indeed the morning before my first exam, but nothing generally exciting has happened since then so nothing was missed anyway.

Dont judge a book by it’s cover ugly name.

With Reading Festival being only 71 days away and a lot of the line up now been released, I realised I have been very much out of the musical loop this year and I have deviated a lot to listening to music I used to listen to in my younger years. I then decided to start Spotifying some of the bands I had never heard of, especially those with weird names. I also decided to break my habit of refusing to listen to bands with names I think are just ridiculous. My first two for the listen were ‘The Airborne Toxic Event’ and ‘Dananananaykroyd’. The former because my inital reaction was “my God, could they sound any more emo and extra” and the latter because, well, you look at that name. Turns out The Airborne Toxic Event are not emo, and actually good. I listened through their album and found my self listening to it again. If you have spotify, give it a listen, or check out Gasoline, or Sometime around midnight.

Dananananaykroyd are a bit undescrible, although they use the term “fight pop” themselves which I can deal with as a genre. Despite their rediculous name I also found myself liking them, if not as much  as airborne toxic event, to the point of getting the album as well.

Think the next to invesitgate is going to have to be 3 oh! 3….

Well, well, well….

It has been a while since I blogged.  In fact it was the morning of my first exam when I got an amazing dose of carpe diem when I opened my curtains to sun and blossoms falling in.

What happened after that was a terrible blend of occurrences that are not worth complaining about I guess.

It’s all been busy with revision ever since but today I hit a brick wall. Not a psychical one – although that was not far off also – but a mathematical one. I couldn’t bring my self to go over notes for my two up and coming maths exams, and so,  I lazed. Hopefully I’ll pick myself up tomorrow for a full day of the horrid thing….

This will test the silent readers…. I need to listen to an album that makes me go “wow”. I haven’t in quite some time, and I am putting Spotify to some tremendous use at the moment, so buzz in some artists and albums for me okay? Do it,  now.

Currently listening to: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
